Finally Got Remotejoy working

So just recently, I got remotejoy to work on my laptop. Basically, it's a program that allows me to view what's on the PSP screen on my laptop monitor.

The problem before was that I couldn't install the proper drivers because:
1. I'm running 64-bit, so I couldn't use 32-bit drivers. However, they did have 64-bit drivers, which brings me to my next point
2. The drivers were unsigned, meaning I couldn't install them without booting Windows into a mode that allows unsigned drivers.

However, it's not feasible to do this every time, so I hunted down a program that allows unsigned drivers to run by running Windows into test mode, then signing the drivers using the program. Using this method, I can use the drivers without needed to hit F8 every time I boot.

Only problem with running Windows in test mode was the water mark, so I had to use a separate program that got rid of it.

Of course, I have no idea what the consequence of running test mode is, as long as I'm not retarded enough to try to install random drivers every day of the week.

Back on the subject of Remotejoy, recording a video using the program itself is possible, but causes major slowdown on both the feed AND the PSP itself. So I used a roundabout way of using a video recording program called Fraps to record the feed, which worked out great. One thing to note, is that by transmitting data from the PSP to the laptop, it causes a slowdown anyways. But it's bearable.

One last thing to note is that I cannot get sound. For some reason, fraps refuses to record the mic. Not like you want to hear me swear. And the video recording program on remotejoy with sound sounds absolutely horrible. So I'm forced to hunt down some aux cables to connect my PSP to the laptop using the headphone and microphone jacks, respectively. Then while recording, I can set Fraps to record input mic and voila, sound.
